Ughhh why doesn’t my chopacabra cam sound like this.sounds amazing!

[@Conman-xc8px]

Exhaust headers and no cats will do the trick. Throw an x pipe in too

[@LexenSmith]

⁠@@Conman-xc8pxI don’t have cats on it at the moment definitely getting long tubes soon I have side exit but with a flowmaster 44 and I made a mistake going with that exhaust I’ll be switching soon!

Thing is nice man planning on doing the same cam on my 99 stepside 4x4 too! Did you have to get a bigger stalk or just stick?

[@jonathandeleon5588]

Stock*

[@nbsreyes]

What the cam spec?

[@alexandermcdole8464]

😁 sounds sweet

[@johnathonmatter5638]

Hey man did you do any other engine mods to go with the cam? I just rebuilt my motor and put the chopacobra cam in it as well. I have shorty headers and a Borla pro xs exhaust and it was tuned but I don’t have as much choppiness to mine. Just wondering what else or what I should do to get more of the aggressive sound you have.

[@nbsjacob]

Only thing I did was put in .550 lift springs, and long tubes. If you already have springs, tune is probably the problem

[@johnathonmatter5638]

Awesome man thank so much man

[@nbsjacob]

@@johnathonmatter5638 ofc

[@jreyes718]

What was your mileage on your engine before swapping to the chopacabra?

[@nbsjacob]

I want to say anywhere from 103-105k

[@jreyes718]

@@nbsjacob i see it’s bc im going this route with same cam and everything but my truck has 200k miles alr so ima just change out lifters while im at it and springs

[@michaelr7]

Does this have a stall converter installed?

[@mrchevy]

I have a stock 4.3 vortec what’s the cam u have and spec and other than the cam push rods and injectors what else would I need

[@Chevy_Guy]

His cam isn't going to work in your 4.3

[@Reaper-wf8ms]

Do you have a stall? Drivability with a stock stall? Debating on this cam or btr truck Norris

[@nbsjacob]

Yes my converter is stock. It drives good, just barely jumpy at lights.

[@dammitcarl1082]

This cam and truck Norris are basically exactly the same. I have it in my suburban with stock stall, it drives perfectly like stock.

[@badas95Z]

how's the drivability? i know you don't do a cam swap for fuel mileage but did it kill it and make it a gas hog?

[@nbsjacob]

Bro I get around 9 to the mile😂 but I’m full bolt on, and a tune with that definitely doesn’t help. Also the way I drive doesn’t either

[@badas95Z]

@nbsjacob dang I might need to rethink it then lol. My 1500HD only gets 11 so I need at least one that doesn't tear up the ass pocket lol

[@nbsjacob]

@@badas95Z but it’s so worth it, love driving it

[@ZeroHour064]

Hell. So you're saying don't do it on the daily for long trips? 😒 I've been listening to these vids and thought 'THIS is what my Denali needs' but if it's going to kill milage that much eh I dunno. Already only get 15-16 hwy

[@nbsjacob]

@@ZeroHour064 haven’t really taken it on a long trip. Don’t want to find out😂😂 but longest I’ve been is an hour, and I wasn’t paying attention to mileage

[@vailhumphreys572]

Tuned ?

[@nbsjacob]

Yes, tuned my Dakota at split performance

[@19jody72]

Any drivability problems?

[@nbsjacob]

None, only thing is it’s jumpy at lights, but that is because I have a stock converter

[@nbsjacob]

Around 2500 with cam and headers, including labor. Plus more I’ve had multiple retunes

[@nbsjacob]

Thanks bro

[@jadoncrabtree9749]

Why so many retunes of if I must ask I’m doing this swap myself so gathering as much info as possible

[@nbsjacob]

@@jadoncrabtree9749 i had my first tune after the cam was installed to make sure it ran, than another cause I got a new pcm, then another when I got headers cause headers can add hp with a tune

[@Ur_papi_hystr805]

Whats better bro a btr stage 3 cam or the choppacobra Ive been wanting to get the choppacobra but i heard the btr better

[@nbsjacob]

From what I gathered, I think the chopacabra sounds better, while the trruck Norris cam might perform better

[@cristian81g23]

What did you use to lower the front being a 4x4 and how low is it looks like 4inch upfront

[@nbsjacob]

Adjustable 1-3 inch drop keys for the torsion bars, and 2 inch drop spindle. So adjustable 3-5 drop with Ihc adjustable upper control arms to help with camber

[@4kton]

What size piping did you run 3”?

[@nbsjacob]

3inch from headers all the way out
